Chad Ruoff, MD

Sleep specialist

Bio:
Chad Ruoff, MD, RPSGT is a Clinical Assistant Professor and the Associate Fellowship Program Director at the Stanford Center for Sleep Sciences and Medicine. He is board certified in sleep medicine, obesity medicine, and internal medicine. His career in sleep medicine began as a sleep technologist in 1998 while completing his undergraduate education at Georgetown University. He received his internal medicine training at Baylor College of Medicine and then completed a sleep medicine fellowship at Stanford University in 2011 after which he joined the Stanford sleep faculty. He has developed a strong interest in the clinical evaluation and treatment of CNS hypersomnias.

Dr. Ruoff is always very thorough.He always reviews the data off my cpap machine and points out anything that he might be concerned about(e.g. major leakage).During the most recent visit I told him my DME company didn't let me try a nasal pillow without first doing a sleep study to prove that I do breathe through my nose since I had a radio frequency for turbinate reduction done recently.Dr. Ruoff then took me to one of the sleep study rooms to try out a nasal pillow to see if it's something that'll work for me.Unfortunately,it didn't work but at least he let me try it first.He also tested out a different full face mask since I'm due for a new one.He made sure that it had a good seal before writing the script for it.He also told me about the "latest and greatest" cpap machine and how it works.That was the same one he wrote a script for me as well,since I'm due for a new machine too.He's awesome!

Dr. Ruof was and is an amazing, very caring, compassionate and brilliant physician.

SHC Patient, Mar 2015

Chad Ruoff is an exemplary doctor. He's both knowledgeable and facile at sharing his knowledge & insights in terms I understand. And, at the same time, he is exceptionally nice. Sad to say, I rarely see a knowledgeable doctor who is also kind. I also appreciate that he does not use the computer until the end of the visit, atg which point he invites the patient to validate his visit summary.

This provider sometimes does not return MyHealth inquires in a timely fashion.

He's never in a hurry to get to this next patient - He makes sure I'm always comfortable with the treatment plan.

SHC Patient, Aug 2014

Spent hours of time working with me before & after sleep test. Clear information, friendly, professional. Best treatment I have ever received at a Sleep Center would return from Montana for this type care.
